Fiorentina will have to do without Houssine Kharja for two weeks, while Stevan Jovetic is still in doubt to face Palermo.

Kharja picked up an injury during the Coppa Italia victory over Empoli and test results have now confirmed he will be sidelined for a couple of weeks with a muscular lesion.

Jovetic missed the match with Milan last week and remains a major doubt to feature on Sunday against Delio Rossi’s old club Palermo.

A decision will be made on the Montenegro international on Saturday.

Mattia Cassani and Per Kroldrup are still out of action, but Manuel Pasqual has recovered from a bout of flu.
